Donald John Haggerty

OREGON-On the evening of Monday, Dec. 14, 2015, Donald John "Don" Haggerty passed away in the arms of his devoted wife. He was 66 years old. Don was born in Grand Forks, North Dakota, and grew up in Little Falls, Minnesota. He was the second child, and the first son of Lois (Cleveland) and Virgil Haggerty. Don served his country in the U.S. Air Force from 1968 to 1971. He was a pastor and minister from 1972 until he passed away. Don was a great man for God and everyone who knew him will tell you he was the kindest man they knew. He was loved and respected by many. Don would say that his greatest achievement and joy in life was being a father to his four beautiful children.
